FROM REAL LIFE.
A SnnEuine sportsman IN a Northern WoOu-
IL was Autumn time, the weather was good
Set out one morning Mt break of day
Through forests deep and dark To stray;
With gun on shoulder and dog by his side,
lie fastened along with marvellous stride.
The thing most of all he wanted to do,
Ere setting Of sun, was 10 one two.
All day he wandered through glen and glade,
Up sunny knobs. then down dismal shade;
The startled partridge went whirrng by,
And frightened totals with hooking cry
a rtnnlinp SfrpamIRt'S
Or hid themselves in the tufted edge.
"One, two, one two they all seemed TO say,
But never a two did he one that day.
